CH551 is a $1.80 USB Mini Development board based on the 8-bit C51 micro-controller

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

WCH (Nanjing QinHeng Corp.) has recently launched a CH55x family of microcontrollers based on an 8-bit C51 core with a USB interface, and I/Os. The boards all come with different I/Os configuration depending on the selected part number. Electro dragon, the popular online store that offers a range of electronic components is now listing one of the […]

Modular Chirping Nest Toy for Cats

Blog / By Muhammad Bilal

My wife and I recently moved to a new apartment with our cat, Nymeria. This new apartment came with an extra houseguest – a small bird just outside our door. This bird happily chirps all day, which torments our cat who can’t find the source of the chirping. I decided to make a chirping toy

AN ARDUINO-FREE AUTOMATIC ALCOHOL ADMINISTRATOR

Arduino News / By Muhammad Bilal

With all the hands-free dispenser designs cropping up out there, the maker world could potentially be headed for an Arduino shortage. We say that in jest, but it’s far too easy to use an Arduino to prototype a design and then just leave it there doing all the work, even if you know going in

BML GPIO-14 USB Board for PCs

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Ever miss the simple days of using a PC’s LPT1 parallel port to bit-bang GPIO over 8 output pins and 4 input pins of the DB-25 connector? I sure do. My first design project as a BSEE graduate in 1993 was to design a LPT1 controlled test fixture for the Motorola MDT-9100-T data terminal (shown

Hardkernel Launches A Single-unit Version Of Its 32-core Odroid-MC1 Cluster Computer

Electronics News Updates / By Ibrar Ayyub

Hardkernel has produced a single-unit version of its four-unit, 32-core Odroid-MC1 cluster computer for running Docker Swarm, Build Farm, and other parallel computing applications. The design offers greater flexibility for users to combine Odroid-MC1 Solo units for a “single unit, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or n stackable cluster”. The octa-core Odroid-MC1 Solo costs $48. Combing one or more Solo

Crocodile Solar Pool Sensor

Solar energy projects / By Muhammad Bilal

This instructable shows how to build a rather special pool sensor measuring the pool temperature and transmitting it via WiFi to Blynk App and to a MQTT broker. I call it the “Crocodile Solar Pool Sensor”. It uses the Arduino programming environment and an ESP8266 board (Wemos D1 mini pro). What’s so special about this project?

Arduino MIDI Chiptune Synthesizer

Interfacing(USB – RS232 – I2c -ISP) Projects / By Muhammad Bilal

Relive the fun of early computer game music with an authentic 8-bit chiptune synthesizer, which you can control over MIDI from the comfort of any modern DAW software. This simple circuit uses an Arduino to drive an AY-3-8910 programmable sound generator chip (or one of its many clones) to recreate that 1980’s sound. Unlike the many designs

USING VOICE COMMANDS TO START A JEEP

Arduino News / By Muhammad Bilal

If you’ve got a car built in the last 5 years or so, it’s quite likely it’s started by the push of a button when in the presence of a keyfob. Older vehicles make do with the twist of a key. Of course, starting a car by voice command would be cool, and that’s what [John
